This volume presents some contributions to the 6th Conference of the EERA network Tacit
Dimensions of Pedagogy: Education is Relation not Output? Scenes of Knowledge and Knowledge
Acquisition. The symposium was motivated by the fact that some perspectives of Humanities for
example those from the Educational and the Cultural Sciences are not always present in the
current discourses on university. Considering the point of view of these scientific disciplines
the idea of university and scholarly life means firstly to freely develop the idea of
university. Secondly it means to critically examine the conditions for academic work e.g. in
terms of current policy discourses. Fundamental for this is the idea of university as a society
in which everyone is responsible for the shaping of her his relationships to her- himself to
others and to the world based on diverse forms of knowledge and knowledge representation. In
this volume this idea will be developed from historical conceptual and practical
perspectives.
